Now, if the bend opening angle is designated This arrangement may be applied to the transby 0, the abscissa z of the point of egress of the mission of energy by means of a wave (TEo), bebend is equal to R0. tween two points at a distance from each other It is therefore not possible, inv general, to A and B which it is impossible, because of any transmit completely a wave (TEO) from aportion sort of obstacles, to connect by a single rectiof guide of circular cross-section into another linear guide. For this purpose, the two points portion of the same diameter, whenl the axes of A and B are connected by rectilinear guide these two portions form any kind of an angle r lengths arranged according to a broken line path between them. surrounding the obstacle, two successive lengths l y 3 being coupled by an elbow such as to form Vbetween them a whole multiple angle of In 'thei-acatimini?"ing drawingyrigs. 1 and 2 illustrate, respectively, by way of example, a
